I enjoy a poached egg for breakfast, though this throw-together could be used for any meal. Made on 11-18-24.
No recipe or link for this one and I have similar on here. It was a Trader Joe's Scallion Pancake, 1/2 cup of sweet potato mash with nothing added (I had made up a batch of sweet potatoes and froze them in 1/2 cup measured pots - I take one out whenever I feel like sweet potato and microwave them for 2 minutes.)
The microwave is used for this breakfast. The scallion is frozen and I microwave it for 1 minute. Then coat a frying pan with a short spray of avocado oil (you can use what you have), sauté long enough to make it a golden brown on one side, and then flip it over to finish the other. Water is on the hob to heat and when hot enough, not boiling, I gently pop the egg in until the whites are set, coordinating the timing so that it is ready at the same time. Pop the pancake on the plate, mashed sweet potato on top of that, making a slight indentation in the potato, and add the poached egg.
If you like these ingredients, it is a very good breakfast, or whatever the time of day you choose.
There is a link to a recipe for Green Onion Pancakes here if you don’t have a Trader Joe’s nearby. You could probably cook and freeze them individually for future meals.
I am thinking this would go very nicely with naan bread as a substitute for the scallion pancake. You can also go without and just have the poached egg on top of the mashed sweet potato. Just tossing around some ideas and you might have your own, in which case I would love to see them in the comments.
Added notes for my own info, as I need these reminders. Sweet potatoes are generally healthier than white potatoes because they are high in Vitamin A and lower on the glycemic index. This means they are less likely to cause blood sugar to spike.
Also for my own info but add just in case it is helpful to anyone out there.
Trader Joe's Scallion Pancake is 210 calories for 1 pancake.
(My wheat bread would be a better choice instead of the pancake probably, at 110 calories per slice but I need a change occasionally.)
1/2 cup mashed sweet potato is 125 calories.
1 large poached egg is 71 calories.
1 second burst of avocado spray is 25 calories.
Added glass of orange juice: 8 fl.ozs. is 110 calories
Total calories with pancake: 541 calories.
Total calories with wheat bread: 441
I missed breakfast and had this around noon while Gregg was out of the house. Otherwise I would have had oatmeal with berries.
Thanks for looking and have a great day!
Much as I like sweet potatoes I have never made mash with them. I must. No Trader Joe's here.
ReplyDeleteI started making them into mash three years ago Sue. I have enjoyed them ever since. I hope you do when you try them :) I still like to bake them in their jackets though.
DeleteLooks hearty and delicious! I too love poached eggs.
ReplyDeleteThank you Angie :) They were a big staple when I was growing up.
DeleteLooks really filling and kind of pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ginny, always looking for healthy veggies :)
DeleteYou are hired!
ReplyDeleteFantastic, lol! Thanks Cloudia :)
DeleteLooks good but I would do normal potato as I can't come at sweet ones for some reason.
ReplyDeleteYou and Gregg are the same Margaret. He isn’t a fan of sweet potatoes either. It’s always interesting the kind of foods we enjoy, or don’t :)
DeleteI'm not all that keen on sweet potatoes but am trying! We don't eat potatoes very often and hadn't had any for several months until Christmas
ReplyDeleteMy dear other half says he is going to try too Janice, as he keeps reading articles on how good they are. I suggested if he really wants to give them a go, perhaps a recipe that will camouflage it. I used to try that with our son when he was little and it worked, not all the time, as occasionally he cottoned on to what I was doing, lol! :)
DeleteLooks yummy! Take care, enjoy your day and have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteThank you Eileen :) wishing you the same :)
DeleteIt looks so delicious,
ReplyDeleteI love the poached eggs and the mashed sweet potato.
Have a beautiful week!
Thank you Katerina :) I am happy you enjoy these ingredients. You have a beautiful week also.
DeleteI love sweet taters and was raised on them since daddy grew out food, but this combo is a big no for me. I have to hide eggs to eat them, and onions are never in my mouth.. it looks pretty ha ha
ReplyDeleteWe like what we like :) how would we try different foods if we all liked the same thing? Thank you Sandra, And I am glad you think it looks pretty.
DeleteIt looks tasty. My breakfasts are usually on the go ones that I take to work. I only get to make breakfast at home 2 days a week.
ReplyDeleteIt’s always a rush to get something when you work. Thanks Ann :)
DeleteWe in Hawaii would call that a "Loco Moco." Koreans make scallion pancakes all the time. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteI remember eating loco moco It was one of my favorite go-to’s. Delicious! I love these scallion pancakes. They are always on our shopping list for the next time we go to Trader Joe’s.
DeleteThat looks delicious and so very healthy, too. I do love both the eggs and sweet potatoes!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! So glad you like the look of them Jeanie :) Thank you!
DeleteYUMMY that would make a very nice lunch on a cold day too
ReplyDeleteI hope the snow isn't too deep
Hugs cecilia
Hi Cecilia, and thank you. It is a good meal for any time of the day and definitely yes for lunch on a cold day. We had about 8 inches but I will check tomorrow to see the exact snowfall. Thankfully we didn’t have to go anywhere. Sending hugs and hope you and hubby are feeling much better :)
DeleteYummy
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine :)
DeleteI would enjoy this for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Yum!
ReplyDeleteThank you Martha Ellen, I am happy you like the look of it :)
DeleteThis poached egg with sweet potato mash and scallion pancake sounds like a delicious and satisfying meal! I love how versatile it is, making it perfect for any time of day. The added note about sweet potatoes being a healthier alternative to white potatoes is a nice touch, and it’s great that you included calorie breakdowns for those who are tracking. The suggestion to swap in naan bread or skip the pancake for a lighter option is also helpful. I’ll definitely be trying this combo soon!
ReplyDeleteThank you Melody, so glad you enjoyed the look of it :) I hope you enjoy when you make it for yourself.
DeleteLove sweet potatoes. This look delicious. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Rita, very much appreciated :)
DeleteLooks good Denise, a nice combination of flavours and very nutritious.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thank you Jan :) glad you like the look of it and all the best.
DeleteSounds like your week is off to a yummy start! Hope you did not have to go today and were able to stay in and stay warm. Not as much snow in our area as some said but it is still quite pretty - and a good reason to stay inside! Happy Monday to you!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jennifer, we had about 8 inches of snow I am guessing. Stayed indoors the whole day. It was pretty to look at. Hope you have a Happy Tuesday I am one day late getting round to answering today :)
DeleteSe ve muy rico y sana, gracias por la receta. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteMuchas gracias :) Me alegra que hayas disfrutado esta receta. Te mando un beso.
DeleteI enjoy scallions so I think I would enjoy these pancakes.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Thank you Ellen, so glad you enjoyed :)
DeleteI love sweet potato : mashed, roasted or baked. Unfortunately, Bill is not so keen on them. I love a salmon steak on top of mashed sweet potato. Your meal looks what I would love as tea (we have our main meal at lunch time.) But I've never heard of those pancakes here in Oz.
ReplyDeleteSalmon on top of sweet potato sounds wonderful Diane. Gregg isn’t a fan of sweet potato either. Thanks so much!
